I need someone to kick me in the ass and tell me to stop spending money. It seems that of this time where I have a job and no current responsibilities of paying for any services other than gas, I have money up my gluttenous whazoo and I'm spending and spending. I spend so much time at shops getting CD's, DVD's, books, clothes and so on that I'm starting to feel a little dirty. I don't even stop to think when I go shopping "Hey, do I really need this? Is this necessary?" which is what I did when I had little-to-no money working for Dollar General. Every week I find myself telling someone about this new CD or this movie or this book that I just bought and "Hey, do you like my shirt? It's new!"
It's just a lot of unnecessary spending! I'm going to the movies all the time and getting large this and and getting the more expensive of something just because it has featuers that I'm probably not going to even use.
Wasn't there a plan I had? Wasn't there a reason I accepted this job in the first place? Oh yeah, to save money so I can move to Washington. And I'm not saving at all! Now I have a problem with my car and it's going to cost all the money I have to put it into the shop. I wouldn't be so pissed if I would have hanged on to my money and didn't throw it away like a fucking twit. So I'll be broke instead of fixing my car and still possess enough money to get by until my next paycheck. I'm retarded and I should not be allowed to have money.
I think I was just trying to buy happiness. It sounds clichè, but I think that's the only reason that my money's as used up as an elderly postitute working from dusk 'til dawn for fifty years.
I've been kind of low lately. I have no friends in Peoria and no one is available for my calls. I pretty much have no one to talk to for five days straight and it sucks because I'm a very social person. And when I'm not social I think, and when I think I get down. When I buy a CD and like it, or buy a book, read it and enjoy it then it makes me feel as if I made a good decision. I'm also really bad with clothes. I'll buy an article of clothing because I feel good when I wear it. I don't think "Oh jeez, I look good, this will make me happy teehee", but it starts to feel that way after a while--that I'm just spending to be happy.
Bah, I don't know. STOP IT, JACKIE! No more money for you!
